In a new report, the Trust says the UK is "ignoring known risks of flood and erosion at the coast".

In England, just one in three coastal local authorities has long-term, informed plans in place, it claims. The Trust cites examples of adaptive "soft engineering" and innovation, such as creating flood banks and reed beds.

It even encourages the design and use of moveable buildings close to particularly vulnerable, quickly-eroding areas of the coast.

@B Again dunno but I think Peacehaven was a self-build new town so could well have had plenty of old railway carriages. I would not have thought that erosion was that much of a problem, compared with the clay cliffs along the East Coast.I used to live along the road in Brighton. I once stayed in a railway carriage in Wales; was a bit annoyed that it was not arranged in compartments . Altogether too much like normal, I thought.
